i recently met someone terrifying.

someone with problems of his own, who has been nothing but sincerely kind to me since i met him.

when i feel hurt, it’s overwhelming. the strongest power anyone can hold over me is being capable of hurting my feelings.

i don’t remember what this “trust” thing is. i cannot begin to comprehend giving someone that power.

this person is patient and respectful and if i could trust anyone, it’d be him. i honestly don’t know how to trust someone when the idea of it cripples me with fear.
